Maisie Williams is wise: “I [also] feel like we should stop calling feminists ‘feminists’ and just start calling people who aren’t feminist ‘sexist’ – and then everyone else is just human,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “You are either a normal person or a sexist. People get a label because they’re bad.”

Link is busted, sir. At least it is in Win10/Chrome with ublock running.

Works better when I remember to put the URL in the URL field.

I support this.

Uh, aren't we ignoring that GOT has problems with sexism?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I wasn't.

But I seriously doubt that any actor gets to change that, especially one where it was her very first role and she was 13 when it started.

Are you actually blaming Maisie Williams for GoT's shitty writing?

Nope, it's just a bit ironic that our feminist actress is on a show for which gratuitous nudity is required and sexual assault is standard operating procedure. I do watch it as part of a small group of friends, but if it was up to me I'd rather spend my time on shows which can treat their female characters with respect.

Maisie sounds like a bright young woman, hopefully her future endeavors will be on shows with better writers.

I've given up on Game Of Thrones for pretty much exactly that reason: There's very clearly two sets of writers, and even the showrunners have complained about HBO foisting the more-rape set on them.
